Reviewer Smile for “The Far End of History”

My latest Golden Oecumene short story appears in New Space Opera 2 (now out in paperback!) The Fantasy Book Critic (Liviu Suciu) is kind enough to give it several stars and a plus sign, not to mention double exclamation points. Here is the salient paragraph:
 
  • “The Far End of History”, John C. Wright
(LS) *****+

This is just awesome, especially if you are a big time fan (like me) of the author’s Golden Age debut trilogy. Here there are encounters with Atkins, the Lords of the Silent Oecumene and much more, but the opening line:

"Once there was a world who loved a forest-girl"

should hook you; the back-story is explained well enough so no need for reading the Golden Age novels before to enjoy this story, but everyone who loves it should try those superb novels. I really hope Mr. Wright will get back to the Oecumene milieu and write more novels about it!!
